Call and Response Book Event at Good Street Baptist Church

Join award-winning author and leadership expert L. Michelle Smith for an evening of conversation, insight, and connection around her forthcoming book, Call & Response: 10 Leadership Lessons from the Black Church.

In this special event hosted by Pastor Eddie L. Jenkins, Smith will be in conversation with a special guest (to be announced) exploring how the Black Church has historically served as a leadership incubator for professionals across industries. She will also discuss how Good Street's story is woven within the pages and share a special dedication to former pastor, Rev. C. A. W. Clark.

Blending history and culture, applied positive psychology and neuroscience, and modern leadership theory, Call & Response reframes the Black Church as one of the most enduring leadership incubators in American life, and offers a timely framework for leading with purpose, resilience, and community today.

This event will include the fireside chat, a reading, audience Q&A, and book signing. Whether you’re a leader in business, education, the arts, ministry, or community, this intimate event is an invitation to reflect, reconnect, and reimagine how we lead—together.

Books will be available on-site for purchase for anyone else in attendance.
